Piper's 1st Birthday Party

We celebrated sweet Piper's 1st birthday this week.  A year ago everyone was awaiting the arrival of this precious little girl and this year we watched her make a huge mess out of her cake.  We loved all of our time with family and hated when everyone had to go home.

11 months old

Our little girl is now 11 months old.  We are only a few weeks away from celebrating her first year or life.  It seems just like a few weeks ago we were preparing for her arrival, how quickly this past year has flown by.  We love this little princess so very much!

Herndon Family Reunion

We attended the Herndon Family Reunion this weekend and had a wonderful time catching up with all of the family.  Rhodes had a great time playing with a cousin he rarely sees and Piper enjoyed all of the attention she received.

 Uncle Tyler got loving from both little ones.

 We also stopped by to see Drew's grandparents, they loved seeing how big both kids had gotten.

Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Weekend was the opening weekend for our new pool and the beginning of a fun-filled summer!  GiGi and PaPa came to visit and we had a blast.  Rhodes wanted to spend all of his time in the pool and Piper enjoyed her first swimming experience.

 They both love the pool and never want to get out.

Family Time

We have been loving the beautiful weather and try to spend as much time outside as possible.

 Piper loving the play time in the grass.

 Rhodes and daddy spent the day building a bird house.  It was the first project of the summer and they both had a blast.

This Week

 Rhodes' school had their end of the year program this week.  He was a teddy bear and did a great job and  also had a small speaking part at the very end of the program.  At the beginning of the program when they were all walking in most kids were looking around for their parents and waving at them, Rhodes decided to run back to his daddy to make sure that he saw him.  We never know what he might do but it usually ends with us laughing and smiling.

 Showing that he was a really big teddy bear.

 Rhodes' preschool class had a party at Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate the end of the year.  He loved putting the tokens in to play all of the games.

 Daddy had to push the peddles to make the bike go up and down.

 Piper just hung out all night watching Rhodes and daddy play games.
